The worst are just the people hanging out for some social contact, or to get away from their spouse or parents for a couple hours.They "plan" to game semi-regularly...though they don't show up for at least half the game sessions anyway.  They can stay in a relaxed group that lets them miss like three session in a row, but still welcomes them back with open arms.  They care little or nothing for the game.  They will not even consider wasting one second of their 'real life' on the Silly Game.  And they don't care about the community at all.So.....Fringe is between the two?  If your not gaming at all your over in the "not gaming" or "Once Was a Gamer" category.  I guess 'fringe' would be like one game session or so every six months?  And posting or interacting with the community once a week or so?</blockquote>
